About Jim Morrison

Jim Morrison was an American singer-songwriter and poet, born James Douglas Morrison on 8 December 1943 in Melbourne. He died on 3 July 1971. He was the lead vocalist and primary lyricist of the rock band the Doors, and music critics and fans regard him as one of the most influential frontmen in rock history.

Together with the keyboardist Ray Manzarek, Morrison founded the Doors in 1965 in Venice, California. The group spent two years in obscurity before reaching prominence with Light My Fire, a number-one single in the United States taken from its self-titled debut album. Morrison recorded six studio albums with the Doors, all of which sold well, and he often gave spoken word poetry passages during live shows. Manzarek said Morrison embodied hippie counterculture rebellion.
